11 My child, treat yourself well
according to what you have,
    and bring offerings to the Lord
    that are worthy.
12 Remember that death won’t delay,
    and the decree of the grave[a]
    hasn’t been shown to you.
13 Before you die, treat your friends well.
    According to your ability, reach out, and give to them.
